48 gmc on a 87 s10 frame

[junkman1jmc]

my s10 is bagged and lays the frame flat on the ground.i found the diagrams for the cab mounts that spaces the cab 5 and 5 3/4 inches. my ? is can i layout on the running boards with these cabmounts or do i need to make them shorter or taller ?? thanks for the help

[stodd16]

from what i have seen it will set the running boards about 2 inches off the ground.

[junkman1jmc]

so you think i should lower my cab mounts by 2 inches and it should layout on the runnin boards

The running board is usually even with the bottom edges of the fenders. I have seen a couple of trucks that guys raised the running boards up closer to the bottom of the cab and trimmed the bottom of the fenders off a like amount to be able to get the truck a bit lower in profile. I think if you were to measure a stock truck you could see where you could take up a couple of inches there.
I'm not into bagging trucks or laying frame (just not my thing) but I do run my truck plenty low.

This truck was at the Run to Roslyn (Roslyn WA) last year and if you look close you can see that the gap between the bottom of the door isn't as wide as the normal space.


This 54 has the running boards raised or appears to


This one has the boards in stock position

i plan on sittin the cab off the frame high enough to leave the runnin boards stock and even with the bottom of the frame

to wide unless its out of a 67'-69' camaro and those usually dont have disc brakes. 70'-81' is too wide.

[junkman1jmc]

so i might as well use the s10 frame
